The Vatsalyam Home Stay was such a great experience. The whole family was so kind and charming. They took as for several walks and showed us the city. The food was delicious, the best we've ever had in india. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the huge terrace with an amazing view is the highlight.

We stayed for 4 nights with the most wonderful family..Uncle and Aunty Jee,Asheesh and his lovely wife and beautiful daughter.
The room and toilet was spacious,extremely clean with hot/cold water.
We were there in Nov and I was cold,and a portable heater was made available.
One of the evening at 9 pm and we were hungry and as requested Asheesh's...

I'd visited Shimla recently with my family. The unanimous positive reviews on trip advisor about Vatsalyam and the fact that we wanted to pick a Homestay was the reason I chose it. And boy were the reviews right! To begin with the house was situated on the slope of a hill which ensured a stupendous view to the rest of...

The place is perfectly located with a beautiful view of the forest. Very neat and clean rooms with a breathtaking view from the balcony. The hosts are very warm and welcoming and serve delicious home cooked meals!

We stayed three nights. All the warm reviews are justified. From arranging for us to be met at Shimla station to helping us through India's currency problems Ashish was great. Room and terrace were great. We had two evening meals which were fab. Best of all though was the welcome and interest shown by the whole family and especially Ashish's...

We stayed for 3 nights and we loved it! The rooms are great and feature everything you may wisch for your stay, but more important: the family welcomed us very warmly and was super helpful in everything - recommendations on what to do, organising cabs (the homestay is a bit far out, but good to reach by car and definetly...

Had booked Vatsalysam via Booking.com after reading the ever too good reviews. I have to say that the Sharda family is one awesome kind of people – extremely warm, extending such great hospitality. The rooms are neat, clean, comfortable and the views from the rooms are spell-bounding. Food was delicious and finger-licking good. It is a pity as we just...

This was easily among our best homestay experiences anywhere in the world. Huge positives for this property include the location, the view and the hospitality of the Sharda Family. We would gladly recommend this property.
It is located at a 15 minute drive from the city centre and has a lovely view of 5 out of the 7 hills of...

The property is the Sharda family home which is reasonably located about 7-8 kms from Mall road junction away from the hustle and bustle of the main city with excellent views of the hills around Shimla as well as the local landmarks (Jakku temple, Viceregal lodge).
Ashish had graciously arranged for our pick up from the train station
While the...
